Alien Intervention? Coloured lights over the farm near Cape Town

What was reported

After the couple moved to their present farm near Cape Town, Kerry came home one night at about nine, looked up and saw lights coloured green, red, orange and yellow. One began a slow circle and then shot off in one direction while another circled the opposite way and darted off elsewhere. She told her husband the UAPs had come again, but he did not believe her. Two weeks later, while they were at Melkbosstrand, a friend phoned from Claremont to say she had seen the same thing, and Kerry says it was published in the Cape Times. The date is not given; the move to the present home is dated September 1998 and the interview 9 March 1999.

  Kerry (Case 147): farm lights between Sept 1998 and Mar 1999, then recurring abduction-type dreams.

  Both 1998 and both printed in Afrinews 20; no other link. Weak.

• Interview with Nigel Espi and his family, NoordhoekCase fileSame behaviour

  Multicoloured lights that dart, circle and shoot off, watched from home at night: Espi 1990, Kerry 1998. Both match scintillating stars plus autokinesis, which is Hind's own reading for the first.

• Sean Rhategan of Cape Town: silver disc with portholes over Camps BayCase fileSame behaviour

  Corroboration claimed from a distant party (Pinelands pupils in the Cedarberg 20 minutes later; a friend in Claremont two weeks later, 'in the Cape Times'). In neither case is the corroborator interviewed; a 20-minute offset rules out a single satellite pass.
